At K2View, we believe that every company should be able to liberate and elevate its data to deliver the most personalized and profitable customer experience in its industry, while being innovative and radically agile. 

With K2View, companies manage data in a whole new way, using a business lens: they create data products that continually sync, transform, and serve data from siloed source systems – delivering a real-time, holistic view of any business entity to any data consumer.

Our Data Product Platform fuels operational and analytical workloads, at enterprise scale. It deploys as a data fabric, data mesh, or data hub - in an on-premises, cloud, or a hybrid architecture - in a matter of weeks, and adapts to change on the fly.

The most data-intensive companies in the world, including AT&T, Verizon, American Express, Vodafone, and Hertz trust K2View Data Product Platform for their operational use cases - spanning Customer 360, cloud migration, test data management, data tokenization, and legacy application modernization.

Discover how enterprises can turn mainframe and other mission-critical system data into trusted, compliant datasets for testing, analytics, and AI. Modernization often slows down because teams struggle with slow data access, manual provisioning, and growing compliance demands. This webinar shows how the joint Rocket + K2view solution removes these bottlenecks with one unified approach.

You’ll learn how to access governed cross-system data on demand while preserving referential integrity across mainframe and distributed environments. A live demo will walk through accessing z/OS data with Rocket Data Virtualization, detecting and masking PII, provisioning production-like test data, and generating synthetic datasets for edge-case coverage. The session ends with a practical “how to start” guide, including recommended use cases, success metrics, deployment considerations, and a downloadable datasheet.

From mainframe to modern: compliant data for testing, analytics, and AI

As enterprises move from GenAI pilots to production, the challenge shifts from experimentation to scalability, governance, and trust. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is paving the way for standardized data access, but success depends on having real-time, governed data products behind it. 

In this session, K2view experts will share how leading organizations are preparing for 2026 by combining MCP and data products to build a future-ready data foundation that scales with their AI ambitions. 

Join us to learn: 

* Why data products are essential for MCP-driven AI ecosystems 

* How to create a governed, semantic data layer that feeds LLMs and AI agents 

* Steps enterprises can take now to be ready for 2026

2026 readiness: How MCP and data products future-proof enterprise AI

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is fast becoming the interoperability layer that lets GenAI application connect to enterprise data. But wiring MCP clients directly to dozens or even hundreds of enterprise source systems doesn’t scale. Each connection adds complexity, risk, and maintenance overhead. Without a unified, governed, real-time semantic data layer, MCP-enabled workflows quickly become fragile and unsustainable in enterprise settings. 

In this webinar, we’ll demystify MCP for enterprise teams, show how it standardizes data access for LLMs, and demonstrate how K2view MCP server unifies access to multiple enterprise systems.  

 Join 2 industry leaders as they discuss: 

* What is MCP and why it matters now 
A clear overview of how MCP connects GenAI apps to data, and why is it becoming the de-facto standard for enterprises. 

* The enterprise challenge of MCP adoption 
Wiring MCP clients directly to hundreds of source systems creates complexity, security gaps, and governance risks – we’ll unpack these challenges and share how to overcome them. 

* Live demo: K2view MCP server in action 
See how K2view data products can be deployed as an MCP server, turning siloed enterprise data into a governed, real-time semantic layer that MCP clients can seamlessly invoke through resources, prompt templates, and tools.

Beyond the hype: Making MCP work in the enterprise

Most Test Data Management (TDM) tools promise to solve the test data bottleneck, but many fall short. The market is crowded with complex tools and confusing claims about AI, data virtualization, and synthetic data, making it harder than ever to know what really works.

This webinar cuts through the noise. Join Daniel Howard, Senior Analyst at Bloor Research, and Amitai Richman, Director of Product Marketing at K2view, for an honest, hype-free look at the TDM landscape. They'll help you separate fact from fiction and learn what it actually takes to deliver fast, compliant, and reliable test data. We'll cover:

• What works: The essential capabilities every effective TDM tool must have.
• What doesn’t: A candid comparison of common technological approaches and their hidden limitations.
• What’s next: How AI and synthetic data are starting to change the game.

Whether you’re choosing your first TDM tool, reevaluating an existing solution, or just keeping your pulse on the market, this session will bring order to the cacophony of TDM noise.
